In 1984 two young mothers meet at a toddler group in Birmingham. As
their friendship grows, they share with each other the difficulties
and secrets in their lives: Joanne, a sweet, shy girl, is
increasingly afraid of her husband. The lively, promising man she
married has become hostile and violent and she is too ashamed to
tell anyone. When her mother, Margaret is suddenly rushed into
hospital, the bewildered family find that there are things about
their mother of which they had no idea. Margaret was evacuated from
Birmingham as a child and has spent years avoiding the pain of her
childhood - but finds that you can't run from the past forever.
Sooky, kind and good-natured, has already been through one
disastrous marriage and is back at home living with her parents.
But being 'disgraced' is not easy. Her mother, Meena, refuses to
speak to Sooky. At first her silence seems like a punishment, but
Sooky gradually realizes it contains emotions which are far more
complicated and that her mother may need her help. Meena has spent
twenty years trying to fit in with life in Birmingham, and to deal
with the conflicts within her between east and west, old ways and
new. My Daughter, My Mother by bestselling saga author Annie
Murray, is the story of two young women discovering the heartbreak
of their mothers' lives, and of how mothers create daughters - and
learn from them.
